About the Book

When an incurable virus shows up in the bloodstream of a dead prostitute, New York City braces for a lethal epidemic caused by an unknown strain of Asiatic heroin. The death toll quickly mounts into the thousands, destroying the medical infrastructure of the world´s largest city. Finding an antidote and destroying 3,000 kilos of the pure white poison becomes the task of the covert Elective Group and its mastermind leader, the elusive Flowers. Vested with the political and financial power to overcome national and international barriers, he and his team of extraordinary operatives uncover a global financial network that is ultimately responsible for the human disaster. Led by David Alexander, an ex-Marine commandant who, because of a near-fatal battle injury now possesses electro-bionic super-human capabilities, the Group races the clock to accomplish in days what a worldwide network of law enforcement agencies has not been able to achieve in years. In a fast-paced adventure covering two continents, Alexander and his associates must find the way to lure both the heroin manufacturer and his financier out from the shadows so that they can be stopped before millions will die. During the past year we have learned that what may be fiction today could very well become the reality of tomorrow. "Options" is the story of the choices that have already been made to accommodate the dark clouds of narco-terror that exists today in America...and what could easily happen if it ever explodes.
